"Libertarian socialists oppose all forms of authority and social hierarchy, replacing them with direct democracy and voluntary federation in all aspects of life, including physical communities and economic enterprises. Libertarian socialists believe that productive property should be held communally and controlled democratically and that the only moral private property is personal possesions. They also reject the legitimacy of states. Instead, libertarian socialists organize into voluntary institutions (usually called collectives) which use direct democracy or consensus, with rotating, recallable delegates to higher-level federations?."

This is absolutely illogical from it's foundation. It is impossible to reject all forms of authority and then have a system based on it anyway. This is pure rubbish used to con people that are motivated by emotions generated by long winded, buzz word peppered lists of lies.

I have found that the best way to approach an internet forum is to identify the disruptive idiots and ignore them because responding to them is what they want. So, in the future, don't bother replying to these morons' lies, disinformation, and insults.

I agree. This is what Roscoe, and some of his ilk, here on FR are trying to pass off as the ideology of the LP. A plain reading of their party platform, or of most of the candidates running on the LP ticket, would clear up any discrepancies in most sane minded, reasonable people.

Roscoe types are not noted for being "reasonable".
